Xiaomi has launched numerous groundbreaking smartphones over the years, from flagship killers to budget champions, making a significant impact in the smartphone industry. With its sub-brands Redmi and Poco, Xiaomi has delivered some of the most popular and game-changing devices, leading it to reign as the No.1 smartphone brand in India for 20 consecutive quarters (Q3 2017 – Q2 2022). Continue reading to discover the best Xiaomi smartphones of all time that left a lasting impact.

Redmi 2 Prime

The Redmi 1S, launched at Rs 6,999 in August 2014, was immensely popular in India. Following its success, Xiaomi introduced the Redmi 2, which also received a positive response. In August 2015, the brand released the Redmi 2 Prime, an upgraded version of the Redmi 2, which became an instant hit. Its 4G connectivity proved timely, as demand for faster mobile data was rapidly increasing. Moreover, the Redmi 2 Prime was Xiaomi’s first “Make in India” smartphone, tapping into nationalistic sentiment and further boosting interest. Its affordable price of Rs 6,999 also played a key role in driving sales.

Redmi Note 3

The Redmi Note 3 became a massive success due to its unmatched value for money. Priced at Rs 9,999, it disrupted the mid-range market by offering impressive specifications at an affordable price. A key factor was its Snapdragon 650 processor, which delivered strong mid-range performance and a smooth user experience. The device featured a 5.5-inch Full HD LCD display and a premium metal body, a significant upgrade at this price point that enhanced its perceived quality. Additionally, the fingerprint sensor, still uncommon in this segment at the time, added to its appeal. With a combination of powerful performance, solid build quality, and advanced features, the Redmi Note 3 became one of Xiaomi’s most successful smartphones.

Poco F1

The Poco F1, launched in 2018, marked the birth of Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco and became an instant hit for offering a flagship Snapdragon 845 processor at an unprecedented starting price of Rs 20,999. In comparison, other Snapdragon 845-powered phones like the Asus Zenfone 5Z, OnePlus 6, LG G7+ ThinQ, and Google Pixel 3 were priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 70,000. The Poco F1 delivered high-end performance, a liquid cooling system, and a 4,000mAh battery, making it ideal for gamers and power users. While its polycarbonate build was a cost-cutting measure, the phone’s speed, battery life, and affordability made it one of the best value-for-money smartphones of its time. Its aggressive pricing disrupted the market, earning Poco a dedicated fanbase.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, launched in 2021, gained popularity for its cutting-edge hardware and premium design. It stood out with its large rectangular camera module, giving it a distinct “camera phone” look. The module housed a massive 1/1.12-inch 50MP Samsung GN2 sensor, making it one of the best camera smartphones of its time. Another feature that set it apart from other flagship phones was the secondary display on the back. This small rear screen provided quick access to notifications, enabled easier selfies using the main cameras, and displayed other useful information.

Powered by the Snapdragon 888, the Mi 11 Ultra featured a 6.81-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a ceramic back, and the unique secondary display, making it a standout in the flagship segment. Despite its high price of Rs 69,999, its top-tier cameras, powerful performance, and innovative design attracted enthusiasts, solidifying its place as one of Xiaomi’s most ambitious smartphones.

Redmi Note 10 Pro

The Redmi Note 10 Pro surged in popularity due to its impressive features at a mid-range price. ¹ It popularized high-brightness OLED displays, offering vibrant visuals. ² The global version’s 108-megapixel quad-camera setup (64-megapixel in India) delivered exceptional photography. Furthermore, the return to a glass back provided a premium feel, setting it apart from competitors. Redmi’s strategy of offering flagship-level features like a stunning OLED display, a 108/64-megapixel camera, and an elegant design made it a highly sought-after device.

Flagship smartphones are premium offerings from a company, which typically offers the brand’s latest technology and features. But what do top executives of these companies use? Now, we have an idea on what models the Xiaomi CEO uses and there are four!

The Chinese tech giant’s senior official revealed the smartphone models that he uses on his official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). It was surprising to see four devices, which included the Xiaomi 12, Mi 11 Ultra, Redmi Note 11T Pro, and the Xiaomi Civi. Interestingly, all four models were from the company’s smartphone portfolio, and one was even from its budget sub brand Redmi.

Lei Jun further added that these are the four models that can found on his desk and he often uses all of them at the same time. The Mi 11 Ultra is the previous generation’s top end model, but unfortunately, we don’t see the Xiaomi 12 Ultra since the brand has yet to launch that particular model yet. While its unclear how one uses four smartphone models as their daily driver, it is entirely possible that he cycles between them one by one.

Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra in the first half of 2021 in China. It arrived as the company’s most powerful camera smartphone. Apart from flaunting stellar cameras, the Mi 11 Ultra offered a premium design and topnotch specs.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra was made official in three configurations, such as 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage. The prices for these variants were 5,999 Yuan ($941), 6,599 Yuan ($1,035), and 6,999 Yuan ($1,098), respectively. In June 2021, the company slashed the prices of all three variants by 500 Yuan (~$78).

Today, the Chinese manufacturer confirmed that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra will be available in China at a discounted price of 1,500 yuan ($235). Starting at 8 PM (local time) on March 31, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra will be sold with a starting price of 3,999 Yuan (~$627). The company has said that it is a limited-period offer.Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra specifications

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a 6.81-inch AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The Snapdragon 888 powered device is equipped with LPPDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It has a 20-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel (main, Samsung GN2) + 48-megapixel (ultrawide) + 48-megapixel (periscope telephoto) triple camera unit. It has a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging, 67W wireless charging, and 10W wireless charging.

Now that the Mi 11 Ultra has received a massive price cut, it appears that Xiaomi could be working on the launch of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. According to a recent report, the 12 Ultra will succeed the Mi 11 Ultra in Q2 of 2022.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra receives massive price cut in China, Xiaomi 12 Ultra launch could be fast approaching appeared first on Gizmochina.

A couple of days back, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra was reported to have been delayed to Q2 2022 for an unspecified reason. A follow-up from tipster Digital Chat Station now reveals that the phone may undergo some tweaks in terms of specifications, but the overall design will sit in line with the previous leaks.

Previously, the same tipster showed some rough sketches of what the Xiaomi 12 Ultra could look like, revealing a large circular camera module positioned in the center of a segment spanning across the top part of the phone. Three camera lenses are visible therein, and are expected to be a wide-angle main camera, an ultra-wide-angle secondary camera, and finally a periscope telephoto lens.

While the overall camera configuration looks to be the same as the Mi 11 Ultra, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is expected to improve on that further. It has been tipped that Xiaomi has joined hands with Leica for the development of the camera system of the phone, so we wouldn’t be surprised if it tops DXOMARK once again.

Moving on, the display of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is expected to be a 2K OLED display from Samsung with a center-aligned punch-hole camera. Charging should be superfast, with wired charging being 120W and wireless being 50W.

The post Xiaomi 12 Ultra cameras may dominate DXOMARK once again, just like the Mi 11 Ultra appeared first on Gizmochina.

News surrounding MIUI 13 has been deeply fused with rumors, many of which have already turned out to be false. Take a report from last month, for example, that set the update’s launch date as December 16 – something that now appears to be false as there’s no major launch event planned on the day.

Another report from the same source (Xiaomiui) now claims that the launch date is actually December 28, with the Mi 11 and Redmi K40 series being the very first devices to get treated to the update on the same day.

While this again is unconfirmed and nothing but a rumor, it is still more solid than other potential release dates. This is because Xiaomi had launched MIUI 12.5 on the same day last year.

The report further states that both stable and beta builds for MIUI 13 will be introduced on the very same day, which is something that hasn’t happened since MIUI 11. Xiaomi has actually been internal testing stable builds of MIUI 13 for a few recent high-end devices for around a month, so it makes sense that they would be rolled out for all now.

The source has also intercepted a bit of data from Xiaomi’s servers showing that MIUI 13 V13.0.1.0 has been prepared for the Mi 11 and Redmi K40 series already. These builds with the same version number will likely be released on December 28.

Devices that Xiaomiui says will get MIUI 13 stable on December 28th include the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Redmi K40 Pro, and the Redmi K40 Pro+. Other phones like the Xiaomi Mi 10S, Mi 11 Lite 5G, Mi MIX 4, Redmi K40, Redmi K40 Gaming, and Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G might get updated to the same as well on that day.

Do keep in mind here that none of the information above has been officially confirmed so be sure to take it with a pinch of salt.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max finally went on sale with a similar design to its predecessor but several improvements in terms of specifications. It has a smaller notch, a bigger battery, a much better hardware department, and more. But is it even better than other Android top-tier flagships under every aspect? After comparing it to the most advanced Samsung flagship (the Galaxy S21 Ultra), it is time for Xiaomi to compete with Apple. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra vs Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

Design

The huge camera module of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra does not make it very elegant. If you add that it comes with big dimensions, you will understand that it is definitely not the best phone to keep with you while you travel. The iPhone 13 Pro Max has that bigger notch, but its overall design is more stylish compared to its rival. Further, it comes with better water resistance: it has the IP68 certification which allows putting it underwater up to 6 meters deep without damages, while the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can only withstand 1.5 meters of depth. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is built with a ceramic back and an aluminum frame, while iPhone 13 Pro Max comes with a Ceramic Shield back and a stainless steel frame: its build quality is higher and it is also more compact.

Display

If we talk about the displays, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is more interesting. Besides an amazing AMOLED panel with one billion colors, 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision, it also comes with an additional mini display on the rear side which can be used instead of the main display and allows shooting selfies with the rear cameras. Both the phones are stunning when it comes to image quality, so whatever you choose, you will get a great display. Note that Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has an in-display fingerprint reader, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max comes with 3D facial recognition instead of a fingerprint scanner.

Specs & Software

On the paper, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra looks more powerful as it comes with up to 12 GB of RAM, but the reality is that iPhone 13 Pro Max can achieve better performance due to its stronger Apple A15 Bionic chip and the better optimization of the iOS operating system. Despite it has just 6 GB of RAM, the iPhone 13 Pro Max can be faster and more powerful. Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra runs Android 11 out of the box and it will be among the first Xiaomi phones to get the Android 12 update, while iPhone 13 Pro Max runs iOS 15.

Camera

The camera department of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is more complete and versatile than iPhone 13 Pro Max. Despite Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is able to record 8K videos, the iPhone 13 Pro Max actually records better videos in most of the conditions, but the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is way better when it comes to photo quality. It has a 50 MP main sensor with laser autofocus, a 48 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide camera against three inferior 12 MP sensors provided by the iPhone.

Battery

Despite Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a bigger 5000 mAh battery, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is able to provide a longer battery life on a single charge because it has better software optimization. On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has faster charging speeds thanks to a power of 65W for both wired charging and wireless charging.

Price

The original price of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra for the European market is about €1200/$1400, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max starts from €119 in Europe and $1099 in the U.S. If you are searching for a clear winner of this comparison, you are in the wrong place. Each of these devices has its pro and cons: which one should you buy? It depends on your actual needs. Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra may be very useful for you with its dual display and a better camera to shoot photos, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max is all but an inferior device and it offers better build quality, as well as longer battery life, similar camera performance, and more.

Xiaomi announced an insane number of flagships this year: never seen a company announcing too many flagships in a single year. The last one is the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, which comes with the 2nd generation under-display camera. Since it packs the best Qualcomm chipset, it is the most powerful Xiaomi device to date. But is it also the most complete flagship of the company? In order to establish this, we decided to compare it to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra as it is the best Mi flagship released this year if we exclude the Mi Mix 4 and the Mi Mix Fold.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Design

There is no doubt about the fact that Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 comes with the best design. Thanks to the under-screen camera technology, the display is totally full-screen, without holes and without a notch. And this is not all: the phone is also built with an outstanding ceramic back and it comes with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for the front glass. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Mi Mix is not waterproof but only splash resistant, while its internal rival is waterproof with the IP68 certification.

Display

Despite the presence of an under-screen camera on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a superior display. It shows a higher level of detail thanks to a higher 1440p resolution (also known as Quad HD+). The panel is an AMOLED which shows up to one billion colors, with a wider diagonal of 6.81 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision support. You also get an in-display fingerprint reader with these handsets, as well as the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for the glass and a curved edge to edge panel.

Specs & Software

You can get a performance boost with the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 because it sports a slightly better processor: instead of the Snapdragon 888 powering most of the Android flagships released in 2021, this device comes with the Snapdragon 888+ paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has the same memory configuration in its most expensive variant, but it is fueled by the lower-end Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. The phones run Android 11 out of the box, customized by MIUI 12.5. Note that the Mi Mix 4 ships with the Enhanced Edition of the MIUI 12.5.

Camera

If you are looking for the best camera phone, then you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra without thinking twice. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a 50 MP main camera, a 48 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide camera. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has a great 108 MP main camera, but its secondary sensors are inferior: there is an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. Note that Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has an under-display camera, but it is a camera at the same level as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a bigger 5000 mAh battery and this means that its battery life can be longer. Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has just 4500 mAh, but it has a faster charging technology with a max power of 120W. On the other hand, wireless charging has a lower power (50W vs 67W).

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra for the Chinese market is 5.999 Yuan, which roughly translates into $914. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 starts from $770 and it is a bit more affordable. Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is a superior device. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is more innovative with its under-screen camera and a better processor (if we exclude the secondary rear display of the Mi 11 Ultra), but the Ultra has better cameras and a bigger battery, so it provides a superior user experience.

Xiaomi has been rumored to be working on a next-generation of its Mi MIX series flagship smartphone which is expected to go official in the third quarter of this year. The upcoming phone of the MIX series, Mi MIX 4, launching after three years, is said to offer an ultimate full-screen experience to the users.

Now, a new report coming from China claims that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 will be made available in only one version that will have an under-display camera sensor. There won’t be a traditional version of the phone as rumored earlier, says the report.

Apart from that, the report also adds that the pricing of the Mi MIX 4 will be higher than the price of the Mi 11 Ultra flagship smartphone from Xiaomi, which is touted as the “Light of Android” because of its top-of-the-line specifications.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 could possibly miss 2K screen resolution support but the report adds that it may come with a specially customized high-screen resolution which will offer better display results compared to Full-HD+ screen resolution.

The device is also expected to adopt a four-frame fully equal-width design as it aims to offer a true full-screen design with an under-display camera sensor. The Chinese smartphone maker is aiming to offer a unique experience to the user.

The handset is expected to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and will come packed with a 4,500mAh battery that will support 120W wired fast charging — the highest-rated fast charging technology so far.

A piece of cheering news coming from Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is that it had sold over 3 million units of just three products in its Mi 11 lineup of smartphones globally. Xiaomi says that the trio of Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra accounted for a substantial part of its market share in China. The combined sales figures were extracted from external sources and third-party retailers and are for the first four months of the year (January to April 2021). The company didn’t disclose how many units of each of the three models were sold.

Xiaomi continues to blossom at home in the Chinese tech market, with many high-end, high-performance products regularly showcased, together with an impressive after-sales experience. The company is also aggressively pursuing expansion in several markets outside China, making substantial inroads into previously uncharted markets in Europe and elsewhere.

Xiaomi’s Mi Store in several parts of the world provides an exceptional customer experience for users.  The expansion moves are already yielding results with an exponential increase in sales recorded in several markets.

While the Mi 11 has been on sale since January, the duo of Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra were launched in March, packed with several impressive features. The main highlight of the Ultra is the powerful camera setup it features. The models are all powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset with 5G support. They also come with strong battery performance as well as fast charging capabilities, among several other features.

Of course, the Xiaomi Mi 11 lineup consists of several other models which when factored in, are bound to increase the sales numbers released for the period under consideration.

The post Xiaomi has sold over 3 million units of the Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, & Mi 11 Ultra globally appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi recently launched the Mi 11 Ultra: the most powerful and advanced flagship it ever brought to the market, as well as one of the most expensive. It powerful and innovative features, but is it worth spending all that money on a smartphone in 2021? For less, you can get several other top-tier flagships, such as the OnePlus 9 Pro. This is a comparison between the specifications of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and the OnePlus 9 Pro which will help you understand the main differences between these handsets.

OnePlus 9 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Design

Due to the huge camera module on the rear side, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is not my favorite phone. But it is actually made with more premium materials, including a ceramic back, an aluminum frame, and the Gorilla Glass Victus protection by Corning for the front glass. However, I prefer the OnePlus 9 Pro because it has a more minimal look, it is a more compact phone and it is also lighter than Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Both the phones offer protection against dust and water with the IP68 certification: they are waterproof.

Display

OnePlus 9 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra are equipped with outstanding displays among the best panels in the whole market. They both come with one billion colors AMOLED panels including the HDR10+ certification and a high 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as a very high brightness. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a wider 6.81-inch diagonal, while the OnePlus 9 Pro is more compact; both have curved panels at the edges and both come with a Quad HD+ resolution. The differences between these displays are very marginal, so we will consider it as a draw.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and OnePlus 9 Pro are close not only when it comes to the display, but also when it comes to the hardware. They are both fueled by a Snapdragon 888 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM. The only important difference between their hardware departments is the internal storage if we consider the higher-end configurations. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra offers up to 512 GB of storage, while the OnePlus 9 Pro stops at 256 GB.

Camera

Despite the OnePlus 9 Pro comes with cameras co-engineered with Hasselblad, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is the camera king here. It has a 50 MP main sensor with laser autofocus and OIS, a 48 MP periscope sensor with OIS and 5x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide camera. It is able to record 8K videos with HDR10+ and it also comes with a secondary rear display which allows shooting selfies with the rear cameras.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a bigger 5000 mAh battery, so it is able to provide a longer battery life on a single charge. The components of the phones have a similar energy consumption, that is why the battery capacity makes the difference. Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra features faster charging technologies (67W wired charging and 67W fast wireless charging against 65W fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging), but given that the OnePlus 9 Pro has a smaller battery, it is actually quicker to reach 100 percent.

Price

The OnePlus 9 Pro has a starting price of €900/$1100 in the global market, while the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra starts from €1200/$1450. As you probably understood from the prices, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is a superior phone. It has more advanced cameras, a bigger battery, and a secondary display. Further, you get a ceramic design and a wider panel. But do you really need these features? With the OnePlus 9 Pro, you still get amazing cameras and good battery life while saving a lot of money. Which one would you pick after considering their prices?

Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 Ultra flagship smartphone in March this year.  The flagship device was well-received but one feature that has proved controversial is the secondary display. The back panel has received mixed reactions among Mi fans. While some see nothing wrong, some others don’t seem to fancy the idea of a secondary display on the phone.

Xiaomi’s Founder/CEO Lei Jun has weighed in on the discussion, revealing some details about the screen. In his opinion, the secondary screen is not too big. Also, it didn’t cost so much to produce, meaning the effect on the price of the phone isn’t too significant. Lei Jun equally added that the only challenge Xiaomi faced in designing the secondary display is space. Recall that the Mi 11 Ultra’s display is housed in a rectangular module and also houses the rear camera sensors.

One of the respondents complained about the camera module being too big, to which the Xiaomi CEO responded that it is because the phone is targeted at professional photographers. He then recommended the Mi 11 Pro to the complainant. Further, another respondent complained about the device being too heavy. This is equally attributed to the huge camera module.

Lei Jun had earlier disclosed that the Mi 11 Ultra’s secondary screen uses an OLED panel just like the Mi Band 5. In terms of specification, the secondary display has a 1.1-inch size and it can display a variety of information. The main reason for including the display is for shooting selfies as the front display doesn’t have any cut-out for a front camera. As our review of the Mi 11 Ultra noted, the device is top-heavy but it’s really not a big issue. The secondary display doesn’t increase the thickness too much as it is just 8.38mm thick. This is even thinner than the vegan leather version of the vanilla Mi 11.

The secondary screen also displays custom time, weather, animations, and themes. Users can catch up with notifications and receive message reminders, health reminders as well as control the phone’s music player.

In the comments section of his post, Lei Jun also disclosed that the issue of users not being able to turn off the secondary screen notifications will be solved soon via a software update. The MIUI 12.5 update which ushers in DXOMARK camera optimizations will be pushed soon, Lei Jun also added.

Xiaomi is finally releasing the Mi 11 Ultra European version after its initial unveiling in March this year. The Mi 11 Ultra is Xiaomi’s first flagship offering to the international market and customers in Europe may now have a feel of the impressive features of the smartphone in ten days’ time, that is, May 11.

Xiaomi had previously produced the Mi Ultra series for its Chinese market but the Mi 11 Ultra is taking a different path from its predecessor, the Mi 10 Ultra which was a China-only product. Xiaomi’s official Facebook page for its Dutch market has announced that the Mi 11 Ultra will be officially available on May 11. Although none of the other official Xiaomi  European channels have made any announcement relating to the Europe launch, we would expect that if indeed the Dutch launch is slated for May 11, the others would not be far off.

As a reminder, the Mi 11 Ultra features an imposing camera system, reputed to have the largest sensor for a modern smartphone. The phone equally packs an impressive 6.81-inch AMOLED display with a high refresh rate and high resolution, added to a Snapdragon 888 5G chipset which is as powerful as it can get.

The Mi 11 Ultra arrives in two RAM options of 8GB and 12GB in combination with 256GB and 512GB of internal storage. The premium model runs on Android 11-based MIUI 12. Further, the phone gets its power from a 5000mAh battery capable of 67W ultra-fast charging, reverse wireless charging at 10W, and other exciting features. The premium model also comes with dust and water protection with its IP68 rating.

The Mi 11 Ultra had earlier been officially announced with a starting price of €1,199 in Europe.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra will finally launch in Europe on May 11 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi Mi 11 was first announced in January this year and has been on sale since then. The sales have been pretty impressive especially as the company released it as a single variant. The Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro were only launched recently. Thus, most users who upgraded to Xiaomi’s latest flagship likely own the Mi 11.

However, the flagship device has been plagued with a few minor issues which thankfully affected just a few users. Recently, we reported the burnt motherboards issue lodged by some users in China. A new complaint is now springing up from Mi 11 users in China. Some users have complained that their WiFi module abruptly stopped working for no reason.

The issue apparently affects not just one but a large number of users. But there are several others who say their Mi 11 Wifi module works just fine. This is perhaps why the company is yet to say anything about the issue. The Mi 11 is one of the first models to launch with the Snapdragon 888 chipset and there have been complaints before now of excessive hotness sometimes, high power consumption, and lower battery life.

Several reasons have been adduced by netizens as to why the issue popped up. A widely held view is that it is caused by serious flaws in the motherboard design. While some believe it is a production defect, some say the motherboard may have been affected by the overheating issue which may have soldered the WiFi module to the motherboard. However, a tech geek countered this by saying that chips are soldered using a high-temperature tin with a melting point close to 300 degrees. While the CPU heats up to more than 100 degrees during extreme use, it is unlikely to cause false soldering.

Further, the WiFi and Bluetooth modules are integrated on the same chip and so, if this chip is burned it should affect both the WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity instead of just the WiFi. Thus, this may be a production issue affecting a certain batch of the Mi 11 and if it is really a design issue, Xiaomi may need to recall the batch.

What makes this even more interesting is reports that posts with contents relating to this issue on the official Xiaomi community have begun to be blacklisted and deleted by the moderators. There is precedence to this sort of behavior but that will definitely not kill the matter. We expect Xiaomi to come out with an official statement instead of trying to silence complainants.

We await an official statement from Xiaomi about this issue.

Lenovo just launched a new gaming phone in the global market: the Legion Phone Duel 2. Now, gaming phones are the only Lenovo-branded phones sold globally. But gaming-centric phones are not the only devices very comfortable for gaming. Top-tier flagships are another kind of phone perfect for the most demanding gamers, despite these phones lack of some very cool gaming-centric features. Should you go for a gaming phone or for a normal phone with a top-tier hardware department? This is a comparison between the most advanced Chinese gaming phone and the best flagship released by Xiaomi until now: the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. It will hopefully help you to choose a good handset to enhance your gaming skills.

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Design

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a more sober design since it is a normal phone, while the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 has aggressive aesthetics since it is a phone for gamers. The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 has several pressure-sensitive zones, two of which are also known as gaming triggers. You do not get this feature with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Further, it has an RGB illumination on the rear side, a side-mounted pop-up camera for streamers and it comes with dedicated gaming accessories. However, if you want the best design and build quality overall, you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. It has a sturdier body, a curved screen with narrower bezels, and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification.

Display

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 offers a display that is very helpful for gamers because it comes with an incredibly high touch sampling rate and a high 144 Hz refresh rate. Further, it has a very wide 6.92-inch panel. But if we exclude the dimensions, the refresh rate, and the touch sampling rate, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is superior in every aspect. It has a higher Quad HD+ resolution, better color reproduction, and support to HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Further, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra comes with a secondary display on the rear side allowing to use of the rear cameras to shoot selfies.

Specs & Software

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra are powered by the same chipset: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. It is paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. Given that the hardware side is the same, the performances these phones can reach are similar. But the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 has a more advanced cooling system.

Camera

There is no challenge: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is the best camera phone of this comparison and one of the best camera phones ever. It packs a triple camera with a 50 MP main sensor and a pair of 48 MP cameras for optical zoom (periscopic) and ultrawide shots. On the other hand, Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 boasts a superior front camera (with a 44 MP resolution) that can be used by streamers while playing in landscape mode since it is side-mounted.

Battery

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 has a bigger 5500 mAh battery and it can provide a longer battery life, but the difference with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is not huge. The Mi 11 Ultra has a slower 67W fast charging technology, but unlike the Legion Phone Duel 2 (90W), you do not need two cables to reach the fastest charging speeds. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra also supports wireless charging, while its rival does not.

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 and Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra: Price

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 starts from €999/$1200 in the global market, while the starting listing price of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is €1200/$1440. There is no doubt: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is a superior phone. But if you are a gamer/streamer and you are looking for the best gaming phone, then Lenovo Legion Duel 2 is a better option due to gaming triggers, a side-mounted selfie camera, an advanced cooling system, and more.

The post Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese phone maker Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 11 Ultra smartphone and one of the features of the flagship is its IP68 water-resistant build. That feature has now been put to test as the phone was unboxed underwater by a diver and this was shared by Xiaomi on Weibo.

The underwater unboxing of the device is a clear reflection of the success accomplished by the tech giant in producing IP68-rated phones capable of operating even in extreme conditions like underwater. Both the Mi 11 Ultra and the Mi 11 Pro are the first set of smartphones with an IP68 waterproof rating for depths up to 1.5 meters, and they are both capable of remaining underwater for up to 30 minutes.

The water-resistant and dust-resistant capabilities of the Mi 11 Ultra are due to its Gorilla Glass front, ceramic back, and aluminum frame that combines to shut out both water and dust from affecting the device.

The Mi 11 Ultra was released in March 2021 and is already on sale for about $1,440. It runs on Android 11, with an Octa-core CPU and memory ratings of 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB of internal memory.

The smartphone is also adorned with a powerful camera module, using a Samsung 1/1.12″ 50MP GN2 sensor for the main camera. In addition, a 48MP 5x periscope camera and a 48MP 12mm ultra-wide camera are also present. The exciting features of the Mi 11 Ultra will provide an instant appeal to its growing clientele, and Xiaomi is expected to reap from a projected surge in demand for waterproof-rated smartphones.

The phone is powered by the premium Snapdragon 888 5G chipset. It packs a 6.81-inch AMOLED display with 1440p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The 5,000mAh capacity battery also provides greater width in operational times before needing a recharge. Fast charging is also possible, with Xiaomi claiming that it is possible to have a full charge within 36 minutes.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra affirms its IP68 rating as it is unboxed underwater appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you watched the big Xiaomi launch a couple of weeks ago, you’ll know that the company is calling the Mi 11 Ultra the “Light of Android”. That’s a pretty big title. So far no one has dared to exalt themselves like that, including Samsung. 

So how good is the Mi 11 Ultra that Xiaomi has called it the “Light of Android”? 

Let’s take a look at the Mi 11 Ultra and see if it can live up to its title as the most powerful Android phone.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Review: Design

To be the most powerful Android phone, looks and design are important. So does the Mi 11 Ultra have a good-looking design?

From my perspective, yes, it looks good. Its camera module is unlike anyone else’s. The large module takes up almost a third of the entire phone. On the left half of the module are the super-sized three lenses, and on the right is a small display. Although the module sticks out very much, the phone doesn’t wobble because it’s big and centered.

The top-heaviness is definitely there, but it’s actually not as big of an issue as one might expect. Because the backplate is ceramic, it is only available in black, white, and textured marble white. All three colors are very subdued and elegant. But you also have to bear the weight of 234g as a result. Although it is heavy, it is not thick. 8.38mm thick is even thinner than the vegan leather version Mi 11. So it doesn’t look bulky. The glass trim strip on the top, the chamfered camera module, and the placement of the bottom speaker to the right also show that Xiaomi is starting to pay attention to the details of the design.

If there are two words to describe its appearance, they are “refined” and “dominant”. A premium phone with an unforgettable and distinctive look is a design success.  I think the Mi 11 Ultra does that.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Review: Display

The screen is the first gate to human-machine interaction. Is the screen of the Mi 11 Ultra good enough? 

The screen on the Mi 11 Ultra is actually the same as the Mi 11’s. There is a 2k and 120hz refresh rate, as well as Corning’s latest Victus glass. The quad-curved screen also enhances the experience of full-screen gesture. You can pause for a closer look at the other parameters. There are some subtle differences that come from the software. For example, the peak brightness has been increased by 300nit and Dolby Vision is supported. If there is a downside, it would be the lack of LTPO and Truetone display support. But other than that you won’t find any other drawbacks and it’s still one of the best screens of the year.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Review: Gaming & Performance

If you’re going to be at the top of the Android phone list, the performance has to be very powerful. So how is the performance of the Mi 11 Ultra?

Honestly, not that great. On AnTuTu, it scores around 770,000, which is lower than the 800,000 points of its Mi 11 sibling. But 3DMARK’s 5545, Geekbench 5’s single-core score of 1105, and a multi-core score of 3497 brings it at par with other flagship phones.  Xiaomi claims that the Mi 11 Ultra uses a new phase-change thermal conductivity material. The thermal conductivity has been improved by 100%. But the gaming experience is not improved from a practical point of view.

Games like PUBG are certainly not a problem for flagships, averaging at 89 fps. Genshin Impact also had an average of 54 fps because Xiaomi had targeted optimizations.

The temperature didn’t surpass 50°C either. But when it came to games that are heavy on performance and are not optimized for the device like Brightridge, the gaming experience is very bad. The average frame rate is not bad at all.

 But even though Xiaomi says it has used new cooling materials, the temperature still breaks 50°C. Because the metal frame of the Mi 11 Ultra conducts heat better, the frame feels very hot when playing games. And it prompts an overheating warning after exiting the game. This results in your phone limiting the screen refresh rate, camera, etc. So we would recommend getting a cooling back clip if you want to play these kinds of games.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Review: Camera Performance

Here comes the most important question, with such a large camera module, the Mi 11 Ultra must be good at taking photos right? The main camera of the Mi 11 Ultra is a GN2 sensor from Samsung, with a humongous sensor size of 1/1.12″ inches.

It’s the largest CMOS size of any recently released phone. Both the ultra-wide lens and telephoto lens are Sony’s IMX586, a sensor that was used as the main camera in most phones the year before, but now the Mi 11 Ultra is using this popular sensor for its ultra-wide lens and periscopic telephoto lens, which is a very extravagant act.

Main Camera

The Mi 11 Ultra’s color tones are biased towards reproducing realistic scenes without being too vibrant. Colour accuracy is also much improved over the previous generation. It performs consistently in most scenes. The bokeh from the larger CMOS size is also more pronounced. The background light spot is larger. The more evenly spotted light also indicates an improvement in the quality of the lenses. Performance in dark conditions is excellent, with good detail retention. However, the sharpening is a little heavy. It doesn’t look very natural. Other than that it is difficult for me to pick out any other faults.

Ultra-Wide Camera

At first, I thought Mi 11 Ultra’s wide-angle lens would be the biggest improvement over its predecessor, the Mi 10 Ultra. But that wasn’t the case. The ultra-wide lens’ improvement is barely noticeable in most daytime scenes. Only at night in auto mode, you can see more noise in the dark areas, but the difference is reduced again when you turn on night mode. So although the IMX586 is also used for the ultra-wide angle, the improvement is not as pronounced as you might expect.  The lens also has an integrated macro mode. But the closest focusing distance is the same in macro mode and normal mode. So you can ignore this mode. It’s also a step backward compared to its predecessor. The Mi 11 Ultra is still using a 12mm lens, with more distortion around the photo, which needs to be noted.

Telephoto Camera

The 5x telephoto lens has not changed in terms of hardware, but there are software improvements. This lens can now be used in night mode. But it doesn’t really matter because the dynamic range of the telephoto lens is much better on the Mi 11 Ultra as compared to the Mi 10 Ultra, even without the night mode on. I think since it’s a flagship phone, the periscopic telephoto lens is still important. Because it can help you take very good photos in cluttered environments.

Video Shooting

You don’t have to worry about the Mi 11 Ultra’s performance in video shooting either. It performs very well. All three lenses support 8K and 4K 60 fps. And you can switch lenses in 4K 30 fps recording too. Notably, the Mi 10 Ultra can only do that in 1080P 30 fps video.

Check out our video review for video samples.

Issues

The Mi 11 Ultra is really impeccable when it plays well, but there’s a problem with Xiaomi’s new phones. It’s that the firmware can be very problematic at first. The most common problem is the very high shutter lag and the particularly slow HDR compositing. There’s also the old Xiaomi problem of wavering white balance, but it is much better than the previous Xiaomi phones in this video. The telephoto strategy is also a bit strange. The Mi 10 Ultra zoomed in to 5x in the same scene calls for a periscopic 5x telephoto shot, while the Mi 11 Ultra zoomed in to 5x is a cropped version from the main camera sensor, so you need to be careful when you shoot. Even if you were fine with the previous bugs, this one will be hard to ignore. Sometimes at the end of a photoshoot, you’ll find that the photo you’ve taken has been zoomed in multiple times for no apparent reason, making it completely unusable. This problem has occurred twice in the last few days of taking photos. Hopefully, Xiaomi will fix these issues in the next version soon.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Review: Charging & Battery Life

As with the Mi 11 and Mi 10s, the charger and charging cable are not included in the box. They are packaged separately. This time the battery of the Mi 11 Ultra uses a new negative material. It allows the battery to increase its power storage capacity.  That’s why you can see that there is actually a 5000mAh battery crammed into an 8.38mm body.

The charging power isn’t as aggressive as the 120w of last year’s Mi 10 Ultra. But 67w of wired charging plus 67w of wireless charging is top-notch, especially wireless charging. In testing, wired charging charges the phone to 22% in 5 minutes, 90% in 30 minutes, and it takes only 36 minutes to fully charge to 100%. Wireless charging charged up the phone to 14% in 5 minutes, 78% in half an hour, and it took 43 minutes to fill up to 100%. For supporting such a powerful wireless charging phone, Xiaomi has also launched an 80w wireless charging dock. The styling is very cool. It can charge horizontally and vertically and is able to control whether the cooling fan is on or not. As for why the charging dock is 80w instead of 67w, I guess Xiaomi’s new mobile phones launched in the near future will continue to break the record of the fastest wireless charging technology in mass-produced phones.

Because of its huge battery, its battery life should be great, right? Half an hour of Tiktok and 1080p video playback uses 5%, 28 minutes of PUBG uses 12%, GenshinImpact for 30 minutes uses 17% and Brightridge for 20 minutes drains 15% of the battery. It seems to be pretty well optimized for light use, and about the same as any other phone for heavy use.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Review: Rear Camera Screen

Mi 11 Ultra brings the best hardware of 2021, but does it have any other highlights? Remember that little screen on the back of the phone? It allows you to check the time, but also messages, charging animations, and more. 

But the best thing about it is that it can be used for selfies. And the rear lens doesn’t have beauty effect, keeping your selfies realistic. Unfortunately, the screen doesn’t support video recording yet, but I guess Xiaomi will update this feature soon.

There’s no shortage of infrared transmitters and NFC, but the USB is still 2.0. I have to criticize Xiaomi on this point. However, the phone does support IP68 water resistance, making it the first Xiaomi phone to have IP68 water resistance in 11 years. Another highlight is Harman Kardon’s stereo dual speakers. The sound quality is a step up from the Mi 11. Again, please check out Mi 11 Ultra review video for the speaker quality. 

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Review: Verdict

Having read this review, have you come up with an answer to the question of whether the Mi 11 Ultra is the “light of Android”?

It does have the potential to be the most powerful Android phone because its hardware is really very good. But it’s not ready yet, because it’s not the best in terms of software. Wait a few months for Xiaomi to make up for its software shortcomings. Maybe it will really become the “light of Android”. But by then the competition will be even stronger.

Let’s wait and see who will release the best Android phone this year.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra teardown reveals internals of the flagship smartphone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi launched the Mi 11 Ultra at its ‘Mega Launch’ event at the end of March. As of now, the smartphone is only available for purchase in China. But that’s going to change soon as the company has announced the pre-order date for Malaysia.

Chinese tech company Xiaomi is celebrating its 11th anniversary by offering discounts as part of the Mi Fan Festival 2021 worldwide. On the occasion of this celebration, the company is also debuting its most expensive ‘regular’ smartphone to date in Malaysia.

According to the Xiaomi Malaysia Facebook page, the firm will start taking pre-orders for the Mi 11 Ultra in the country from April 8. Customers who pre-order the phone will get a free Mi Fan Festival Special Edition key chain and a T-shirt.

Most importantly, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is priced at RM 4,299 ($1,041) in Malaysia for the single 12GB + 256GB variant. In other words, the device is way cheaper than in Europe where it costs €1,199 ($1,424). Anyway, it is still expensive than the China pricing – ¥6,499 ($993).

But what’s worth noting is that Malaysia is the first global market to get the Mi 11 Ultra. Because although Xiaomi has already announced the phone’s pricing for Europe, the company is yet to reveal its availability.

In related news, the Mi 11 Ultra is also set to launch in India on April 23. The device is reported to cost over ₹70,000 ($944) in the country.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is way cheaper in Malaysia than in Europe appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi never released an impressive flagship like the Mi 11 Ultra, imho. It brings a maxed-out specs sheet and a lot of innovation to the shelves. And unlike the vanilla Mi 11, it is one of the best top-tier flagships in the Android world. But is it able to compete with Apple too? Is it better to go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra or the best iPhone is still a better choice for your actual needs. We will try to let you find out through this comparison between the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Design

Despite that big notch, the design of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is more attractive than Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. It has a thinner and lighter body, as well as great materials. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is built with a Ceramic Shield back and a stainless steel frame, and it provides better water resistance with the IP68 certification making it waterproof up to 6 meters deep. The huge camera module of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra does not make it very elegant, but the front panel is definitely more impressive with its curved edges, higher screen-to-body ratio, and punch-hole design.

Display

On the paper, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra looks more interesting when it comes to the display. On the front side, it has an AMOLED panel that shows up to one billion colors, with a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision, and an incredibly high peak brightness (up to 1700 nits), as well as a Quad HD+ resolution. And that is not all: the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra also comes with a secondary display placed on the rear panel, near the cameras. The secondary display can be used to see notifications and shoot selfies with the rear cameras as well.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max come with impressive hardware departments and you should not notice important differences between their performance. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is powered by the best chipset out there: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. With the iPhone 12 Pro Max, you get the Apple A14 Bionic chipset and the wonderful optimization of the iOS operating system, so blazing speeds in this case as well.

Camera

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is able to provide the best photo quality. According to DxOMark, it is the best camera phone in the market. It has a 50 MP main camera and a pair of 48 MP sensors: one is a periscope camera with OIS and 5x optical zoom, while the other is an ultrawide sensor. The phone shots amazing photos in every condition and records videos with resolutions up to 8K. But the iPhone 12 Pro Max remains one of the greatest camera phones.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is the king of battery life thanks to a huge 5000 mAh battery: there is no way for the iPhone 12 Pro Max to compete. Further, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra offers faster charging speeds: it has 67W power for both wired charging and wireless charging. Thanks to great software optimization, the battery of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is long-lasting too, but not like the Mi 11 Ultra.

Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a starting price of €1200/$1425 in the global market, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max costs a bit more than €1200/$1450 (prices vary depending on the market). In terms of innovations and specifications, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is a more interesting choice, but the iPhone remains an amazing phone for a lot of users and iOS is an important added value.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra generates 1.2 billion yuan within a minute in first sale appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you thought the Mi 11 was going to be Xiaomi’s top-tier flagship for 2021, you were wrong. The Chinese giant just came up with the Mi 11 Ultra bringing maxed-out specifications to the market alongside a lot of innovation. A lot of people did not expect such an advanced phone and maybe the concurrence too. Here is a comparison between the most advanced flagships in the Android world, at least until now: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, and OPPO Find X3 Pro.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra vs OPPO Find X3 Pro

Design

If you just need the most beautiful design, you should go for the OPPO Find X3 Pro, in my honest opinion. Its clean and incredibly elegant design is made with a process lasting 40 hours involving high temperatures up to 700 °C in order to make a back glass full of curves and without interruptions. The handset also comes in a special leather variant called Cosmic Mocha. On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is still made of very premium materials, including a ceramic back, but it is definitely less attractive with that huge camera module.

Display

All of these devices are equipped with astonishing displays which earned the A+ vote from DisplayMate. They feature Quad HD+ resolutions, they can show up to one billion colors and they even come with adaptive refresh rates thanks to the LTPO technology. You should not make your choice by evaluating the displays since the differences are marginal.

Specs & Software

Even on the hardware side, these devices are very similar. They are all flagships with the best hardware department you can expect in 2021. With the exception of the European variant of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, they are all powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform paired with UFS 3.1 native storage. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the only one to offer a memory configuration with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of native storage, while the others stop at 12/256 GB.

Camera

There are a lot of things to say about the cameras of these handsets. They are all impressive camera phones and it is hard to say which one is literally the best. According to DxOMark, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is the best camera phone out there, but the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has better zoom capabilities with its 10x optical zoom. The OPPO Find X3 Pro offers better macro performance thanks to its 3 MP microlens sporting up to 60x magnification. With the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, you can shoot selfies with the rear cameras thanks to the secondary display on the rear side. Each device has its pro and cons, but each is an amazing camera phone.

Battery

You should not notice huge differences even when it comes to battery life. The OPPO Find X3 Pro should be the most disappointing one since it has a smaller 4500 mAh battery, but the advantage of this device is the fact that it has a more compact device. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra have similar specifications (in terms of energy consumption) and the same battery capacity, but with the Mi 11 Ultra, you get the highest charging speeds.

Price

You can find Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, and OPPO Find X3 Pro in the global market with prices ranging from €1100/$1300 to €1200/$1413 (prices vary depending on the region). At least until we tested every device thoroughly, we can not establish a winner for this comparison. The OPPO Find X3 Pro has the best design, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra comes with the most interesting camera department, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the only one to support the S Pen. Each one has its advantage and disadvantages and the one to go for depends on your actual needs. Which one would you pick?
